Subject: position on saddle for hard efforts I don't do a lot of really hard efforts on the bike. I do mostly zone 2&3, some 4. I do very well at long steady efforts. Adding distance comes easily. Last night on the bike trainer I did an interval workout with some very hard (way above FTP) intervals. They were short - starting out at 2 minutes, then higher at 1 minute, then even higher at 30 seconds. I found myself moving WAY forward on my saddle (an ISM Adamo) for these power interval efforts. I wanted to stay in aero the whole time. When the interval came up, my natural inclination was to move way forward (almost off, but not quite). I felt like I was getting more power in that position. Is this normal for very hard efforts? For long zone 2/3 cruising, I'm very comfortable in a normal position on the saddle where it is positioned now. |
